I started this last week, but got frustrated and gave up before I threw the computer. Anyway, here are some pictures from our Tahoe get away---the house---the beach---etc. As you can see, the vinyl island proved to be a hit!
Armfuls of fun!

Thank you ever so much, Dad, for teaching Ben the fine art of Whip Cream Can In The Mouth. He appears to love it!Sunday was a trifecta sort of day. First, Kirk celebrated his 25th birthday. Second, Kirk graduated from UC Davis and finally we all celebrated Fathers' Day along with the Kirk celebrations. We started out with a lovely luncheon served next to the Environmental Sciences building. We met a number of Kirk's professors and some other Hydrology students.
Erin arrived toward the end of the luncheon - but in time for a tasty lunch. Jeremiah, Ali and the kids arrived in time for the ceremony. We all had to wait for a while but the graduates all showed up in their black hats and dresses. Ben and Paige were good examples for the other spectators around us.
Sorry, this is an action shot of Kirk as his name is read. You can see the official photo on display in the family room graduation gallery in just a few weeks.
We were all glad when it was over. Although I must say the speaker was quick, to the point and quite positive. The siblings posed for a moment in graduation time.
We went to Oz Korean Barbeque on Bradshaw Rd. to celebrate. Kirk was our main chef for the evening. The food was delicious. We celebrated the Graduation, sang happy birthday to Kirk and honored Jeremiah and me with a very sweet gathering. This tops off yesterday's event at the Sacramento Temple where Carrie was endowed. Several members of her family plus Shanna and I attended the session.
We had a fantastic week end and look forward to our reunion on June 19.
Due to Ali & Jeremiah's impromptu visit last Thurs/Fri/Sat, we were able to spend all day Friday at the beach. The water was rather cold, but that didn't seem to deter the kids from jumping right in. It was a perfect, sunny day and so nice to spend with my sisters and nieces and nephews. Oh yeah.. and Lee. I just wish there were more of these to come in the future...as well as more that might have happened in the past!

See that red thing in Carrie's hand? Two words. Lace and String. HELLO!! I don't think it actually qualifies as clothing...
